ABC revising broadband deal with affiliates

With plans to stream more shows for free on ABC.com this fall, ABC is revising its arrangement with its affiliates. But the network said it won’t be a revenue-sharing deal. “We’ll partner with our stations, but we’ll have a different approach (than Fox and CBS),” said Albert Cheng, executive vice president of digital media of Disney-ABC Television Group. ABC says it will reveal the details in the next few weeks, along with which shows will be added to the streaming slate. ABC.com’s video player (which won an Emmy) is also getting an update.
